Featuring instruction from Paul Roetert, administrator of United States Tennis Association (USTA) Sport Science, as well as teaching tips from top coaches at the USTA, Tennis Biomechanics provides instructional segments on:
- the serve,
- return of serve,
- groundstrokes,
- the transition game, and
- net play.
In each segment, viewers get to see top professionals and nationally ranked junior players demonstrate the proper movements of the body and racquet. In addition, the video shows variations for each type of shot and discusses their advantages and disadvantages.
Tennis Biomechanics begins by demonstrating the proper mechanics involved in serving. Coaches, instructors, and players will learn about the importance of establishing a consistent ritual, having a clear purpose, and using a consistent toss. Next, the video reviews the three keys to an effective return of serve and explains how and when to use different swings when returning.
In the groundstrokes segment of the video, viewers learn about the various grips and stances and when players should use them. This segment then shows how to combine different grips and stances to hit effective forehand and backhand shots.
The transition game segment covers the biomechanics involved in serving and volleying as well as in making winning approach shots. The video ends with a discussion of the three keys to effective net play and a review of how to hit drop volleys and overhead shots.
Tennis Biomechanics provides an excellent resource for coaches, instructors, and players who want to learn how to improve tennis stroke production using biomechanical principles.
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the governing body for tennis in the United States. The USTA's membership consists of more than 500,000 individuals and nearly 6,500 organizations, including schools, park and recreation departments or community tennis associations, and tennis clubs. The USTA is widely known as the owner and operator of the U.S. Open Championships, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in worldwide tennis competition. The U.S. Open annually attracts more than a half-million fans, awards more than $9 million in prize money, and is broadcast on television to 125 countries. The USTA also sponsors amateur tennis competition for players of all ages and abilities, ranging from events for children 12 and under to national tournaments for those 65 and older. More than 5 million schoolchildren are introduced to tennis each year through USTA school programs, and opportunities for further instruction and play are provided by a menu of USTA entry-level programs. A full range of player development, sport science, and youth tennis programs is offered at the USTA training facility in Key Biscayne, FL, at 120 Area Training Centers spread throughout the country, and through local Excellence Training Programs. In addition, the USTA emphasizes coaching education and development through an ambitious offering of coaching seminars, workshops, and conferences.
